Hi I was talking to him at the time and the discussion was to sell or he had sold the current bass to fund a new build I can't remember if it was sold at that point it may well have been. At that time he mentioned he was going into hospital and would get back to me once that was out of the way. So events over took the intention to get a new bass. He was a really nice guy I had a lot of time for him. Came to several of the Moffat Bass Bashes. Alan

Hi Thanks for the kind words Using just the lowpass filters on the DFM/MC combination covers pretty much the same range as the Wal. The sweepable Mid/Treble goes beyond the range of the filters up to 5.5k/Hz so does not go up quite as high as the Alembic but does add control above the range of the Wal.

Hi The Lowpass Filter on the EQ01 Goes up to 3.5kHz it is the Highpass filter that goes up to around 8k/Hz. There maybe a limited run of the 02 preamp but exactly when I don’t know with the current situation making get what I actually need pretty difficult.

Hi I have sent John a link to this thread so hopefully he will drop by and let you know what the story is. Cheers Alan

Thought it was just me but probably the poorest aspect of an otherwise excellent system.

Hi They generally don’t change in relation to scale length. Some I would not be able to make smaller than they currently are. Franks Recurve would be difficult to make smaller same with a Finn. Making some body shapes smaller wrecks the proportions in relation to the neck and hardware and ends up just looking weird.

I actually don’t have any at the moment. I am not sure where John gets them from or if they are made for him. Maybe drop him a line and ask.

The springs are there to ground the upper knob to the pot lower ring. It was previously not needed because the knobs were brass but with the move to aluminium John found that they needed the spring to be fully grounded so were added. Should be a spring in all of the knobs. It also depends on the type of preamp the EQ01 is less prone to this issue. John explained why but there is a reason he does the preamps and I don’t.

Hi Totally understand and don’t fundamentally disagree just pointing out it can be a pretty simple process if you want/need it to be. Trust you are well and getting through the current situation with minimum trouble. Cheers Alan

At that price point there are a limited number of choices available so sorting out the spec is relatively simple and pain free. Cheers Alan

Just to let you know you will have company. I am actually going to have to record a demo of the SLG 5 for someone in the USA so truly desperate times.

I have now built several entirely native wood instruments. The hardware is still problematic.

It happen to a stand near us was there on Friday evening completely gone Saturday a 20 x 10 so a fair bit of cash in that. Told that a bass company stand was shut down on Saturday down in hall E. We got asked to turn down a few times but just a pleasant request as we were never really blasting out. But if you go to far one written warning then you are pulled.

Will be launched at the Manchester Show.

I have a new model coming out in the not to distant future that I think will tick all of the boxes you mentioned. Initially as a 30.5” 4 and 32” 5. A 32 /4 would be no problem. Will feature a new pickup and will be passive as standard.

Thanks for posting that I would not have seen it otherwise.

That is it.

I will be there Hall D booth 5840. Not in the Boutique Guitar Showcase this year out on my own.

Works in much the same way as non impregnated woods. It does however make Buckeye easier in that it holds it together so less prone to falling to bits. I still finish it because there are still pin holes and some voids. While it may look nice it is a pain to work with so anything that makes it easier is worth looking at.

The Buckeye is acrylic impregnated as is the fingerboard the rest natural wood. cheers alan

The Harlot already has straplocks fitted. On your bass they are Schaller which is what I was using at the time. Still use them but mainly Dunlop’s now.

Two pickup 4K versions.

Talk to Eude he has a 30.5” TKO with a P Bass split coil in it.
